"Wow I appreciate you guys so much, I looked over everything and I think it's all set. Thank you all for working with me!"

EL

University of Rochester

"Hi!! I know it's been a while, but I just wanted to thank you guys for encouraging me to write. Originally, I was super scared about my personal and supplements because I thought my writing would be too direct but after practicing a lot, I improved my writing too, just like Abby said. I realized writing allows me to learn more about myself since I get to reflect on all my experiences. I really liked how my writing transformed throughout this process!… I’m really thankful that my writing has improved so much!"
